Counseling and Psychiatric Services

Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) serves as the university’s primary mental health agency for its students and campus community.

They provide a broad range of confidential psychological and psychiatric services to undergraduate, graduate, medical, and law students at Georgetown University for a variety of student concerns and issues.

They offer free evaluations, crisis assessment and interventions, referral to community resources, consultation, support and therapy groups, and outreach programming. Evaluations are typically defined as one session with a CAPS psychologist or social worker. Every week, students are able to walk in to CAPS to talk one-on-one with a clinician to evaluate concerns and formulate a treatment plan as needed. If ongoing mental health services are needed after the period of evaluation, then there is a fee for service at CAPS for individual sessions, while group counseling remains free of charge. The fee for each individual psychotherapy session is $10 and the fee for each psychiatry visit is $15. For students in the Georgetown Scholars Program (GSP), individual services remain free of charge after the evaluation. In cases of financial hardship, CAPS will work to make services available.
